I submitted this new song I made into the facepunch collaborative project, I tried my best on this one xD I don't mind criticism, just try to still be somewhat respectful :) [media]http://soundcloud.com/xzombine/xzombine-perception[/media]
I can hear you're improving The chord sequence was good, and the synth playing those chords was interesting. You had a good range of sounds to fill the spectrum. The thing that was really putting me off was the snare. It really souldn't be on the 1 and 3 count. It sounds [i]completely[/i] wrong. Some extra percussion would have added pace to the track, a single kick and snare gets old. Also that higher synth in the main sections (like 0:56) is quite annoying. Maybe add some variation to it (instead of repeating the same 1-bar pattern), or think of something different entirely. You have a good grasp of structure, good buildup, breaks, intro. Sounds good. I would suggest that the intro is a bit too long for the current track length. In the main section it would have been nice to hear a B section, like after 4 or 8 bars add some perc and vary the synths for another 4 or 8 bars, especially if it's going to be exactly the same after the second drop. Some improvements to be made, but you're getting there
